Multiplayer God Of War In The Works?

Sony wants to hire someone for their God of War team who could, according to a job listing at Gamasutra, handle "[d] esigning and implementing systems and tools to support networking needs (such as in-game communication, client-server, match-making, leaderboards)". Hmmm. Whatever could they be planning for the popular but previously singleplayer God of War series? [Gamasutra]

I love God of War as much as any other series I've ever played. But the thought of multiplayer is just not appealing to me in the slightest.

But I guess just because it's Santa Monica doesn't necessarily mean it's God of War - they may be trying something different after GOW3. I wouldn't mind seeing them have a go at a new IP - the ending of GOW3 tied things up pretty well and they've been working on the series for a long time now. I'd love to see what else they can do.
